After doing some experimenting with my girlfriend`s Mazda I decided to "borrow" my dad`s Malibu and do some correction on it.



This car has 100,000 miles on it, is on the road 5 days a week, and has been in 3 or 4 accidents / been hit in it`s time on the road.



Let`s start with the scratches:

You would think that my dad and his associates have steel nails with the way the door handles are scratched.



Not anymore...

This is what happens when you have an XM satelite on top of the car that you move more than you should:

After SSR3:

At one point this car was rear-ended and they replaced one of the back body panels. They did such a great job at painting and putting holograms in it!

No problem, SSR2.5 will take care of it...

Some more shots including the lovely spiderwebbed fender and a split shot of the hood...

The Edge Dual Action Starter Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/edge-dual-action-starter-kit.html)



I`ve got that, the double sided pads are awesome and the 4 inch one is super handy for touch ups.



SSR 2.5 / SSR1 entirely on this, topped with PwS.



I did use SSR3 for the holograms...

Great job that was in pretty sad shape. By the way it`s not a 2002 Malibu as it`s the newer body style. It`s looks to be around a 2004 model.
